Today is bacon-making day. Calloo Callay.

Our pork belly has been curing for a week, and now's the day of truth. I will attempt to smoke the bacon in the grill, something I've never tried. First, the belly gets his little pop-out bellybutton.

Knocked off another calendar year of grilling at least once per calendar month. Our streak goes back to at least December 2007. It was very difficult this year, as December came in with a frigid high of 79 degrees here in Inglewood.
